Question:
Not sure if this is in the right place. Feel free to move it.
Alright so I used to run with a bad crowd. Once I was saved I stopped. Now I'm going to a Christian school and have great friends. Anywho, two weekends ago one of my old friends came to visit. I wont go into details, but the jist of what happened is that he tried to rape me, and got really really really far before I hit him in the face with something to make him stop. He didn't get all the way, but I still feel violated and used.
But that's not the point to this post. The point is that I haven't eaten a full meal since then. I just CAN'T. Not, I don't want to. I physically can't make myself.
Okay so the real whole point to this was to ask for your prayers. It's been hard trying to move on and even harder to eat, I just can't anymore.
Thanks.
Answer:
FIrst of all none of this was your fault. This person isnt your friend, he is a discusting man. I'm definetly praying for you...just try to talk to a youth pastor or a trusted adult also about this.
Answer:
yeah that is definitely not your fault....you aren't dirty or anything...that person is not your friend he was obviously after his own desires...but like Grabmyeyes said maybe it would help if you talked to someone about it...its terrible what happened but don't let it take over your eating habits, cause then it'll just do more damage....but like grabmyeyes said talking to a youth pastor or trusted adult could help a lot....
Answer:
they are both right and really wise!!! i'll be praying for you, and you really should talk to an adult.
Answer:
Honey, I encourage you to see help if you haven't. If you have not already done so, tell your parents. They can help you through this. I'm assuming they are saved. If so, then God has given them special wisdom that's made just for you.
Maybe you don't have a good relationship with your parents, then tell someone you can trust.
Answer:
You have my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I don't know how to help you with anorexia, but you should seek help from an adult or professional of some sort. I just wanted to let you know that you have my sympathy and prayers.
Answer:
I'm very sorry and saddened to hear what happened. I am praying for you.

God Bless,
Answer:
Hey, I know how it feels.
I honestly can't really tell you what to do. For me it just took time, but since you're not eating, you need more than that.
I Definitly agree that you need to talk to someone, but the fact that you're not eating is not the root of the problem. The fact that you've been raped is the root of the problem. In order to solve a problem, you need to get to the root.
I don't really know where to go from there, but hey, the answers you're getting are human. You have the most powerful, perfect being in the world to go to. Give it to your Father and He will comfort you.
I don't know for sure that it's the best book to reccomend, but you might try reading Job in the bible. It might help. I wish you the best, and I am praying for you.

Great point. People like that need to be brought to justice.
Answer:
Hey sweetheart,
First of all, know that your reaction is VERY normal. You were violated, and you deserve to feel that way. It's even okay that you haven't felt like eating... that doesn't make you anorexic, it is just a normal response to what you are going to. You are going through a very emotional time.
However, it's important that you receive some help in dealing with this issue. There is a time to grieve, and it's okay to take some time to heal. But it's important to get some help so that you don't get stuck in this bad place, and that you do begin eating again and going about day to day life. Otherwise, you could very well develop some serious problems including anorexia.
Whether or not you report him is your choice... I definitely recommend that you do because I've always regretted not reporting someone who sexually assaulted me. Just keep your options open.
And talk to someone- you don't need to go through this alone, you need someone to help you through it. Please please PLEASE... find someone to talk to.
Answer:
Thank you guys a lot. Well.. I still haven't been eating. But I've been talking with my youth pastor about what this guy tried to do. It's been helping a ton. Thanks for all your advice.
